A compilation of hobbies, interests, and wandering thoughts.

Great Spirit, give us hearts to understand; Never to take from creation's beauty more than we give; Never to destroy wantonly for the furtherance of greed; Never to deny to give our hands for the building of earth's beauty; Never to take from her what we cannot use.

Give us hearts to understand That to destroy earth's music is to create confusion; That to wreck her appearance is to blind us to beauty; That to callously pollute her fragrance is to make a house of stench; That as we care for her she will care for us.

We have forgotten who we are. We have sought only our own security. We have exploited simply for our own ends. We have distorted our knowledge. We have abused our power.

Great Spirit, whose dry lands thirst, help us to find the way to refresh your lands.

Great Spirit, whose waters are choked with debris and pollution, help us to find the way to cleanse your waters.

Great Spirit, whose beautiful earth grows ugly with mis-use, help us to find the way to restore beauty to your handiwork.

Great Spirit, whose creatures are being destroyed, help us to find a way to replenish them.

Great Spirit, whose gifts to us are being lost in selfishness and corruption, help us to find the way to restore our humanity.

As some of you may know, I donated a few of my creations to Brenda Novak’s online auction. Each year she constructs an auction to benefit diabetes research. This years auction brought in a whopping $269,111.00! Congradulations to Brenda on all her success in helping humanity.

Here are some pictures of the creations I sent in, and what they were bought for. Mark it on your calendar, because next year there will be lots more handmade goodies. Support a good cause, local artisans, and your own personal well-being. Can it get any better then that?

Wheel of Life Necklace – Feldspar wrapped in copper to heal diabetes holistically. Sold for $22.00. A STEAL considering it took me over 18 hours to make this! I was sure this would be the highest bid of all my items.
